A survey of 1,075 people by retailmenot.com found that cash, checks and gift cards remain popular choices, cited as preferred by half the respondents. On average, respondents say $165 is an appropriate cash gift for high-school graduates, while $464 is good for someone earning a bachelor's degree. If your friend or relative just attained a graduate degree, plan on shelling out about $772. Those figures are averages, not round numbers.
Good food, lots of friends and neighbors usually show up, and everyone is in a festive mood. And, the graduate is a good kid. You decide that no college-kid-to-be ever has enough money, so the graduation gift decision is easy. You buy a card and sit down to write a touching message before enclosing the cash.
